Microsoft reveals that Surface is going ‘back to black’ as we count down to launch

**Microsoft** will make an announcement for refreshing its Surface models today at a media event in New York, and the company has also accidentally confirmed that the Surface will be going “back to black.” The first Surface which was launched in black was the Surface RT, but that six years ago. The company then switched to silver colour options. Here’s a look at an event listing which for a Surface event schedules to take place on 16 October in New Zealand, and it says “in October 2018, Surface goes Back to Black.” The listing has been taken down now. But we can clearly guess what to expect at the 2 October New York event.
